Creative Healing How to Heal Yourself by Tapping Your Hidden Creativity
Author: Michael Samuels, Mary Rockwood Lane

All across the country, a groundbreaking movement is forming in the field of health care: art and medicine are becoming one, with remarkable results. In major medical centers such as the University of Florida, Duke, University of California, and Harvard Medical School, patients confronting life-threating illness and depression are using art, wri... more »ting, music, and Dance to heal body and soul.A woman with breast cancer who has never made art before finds healing and empowerment by creating sculpture.A man with AIDS uses journalling to overcome feelings of despair and helplessness.A woman suffering from depression following her divorce learns to dance for the first time in her life--and in he body's movement she rediscovers a sense of play and joy.A musician gives meaning to his art by helping people with illness transform their life through music.Physicians and nurses are beginning to use creativity to complement and enhance their medical practice.Creative Healing presents readers with the inspiring ways in which the arts (painting, writing, music, and dance) can free the spirit to heal. In one volume, the authors detail the transformative power of a diverse range of artistic activity. Michael Samuels, M.D., has over twenty-five years of experience working with cancer patients and is the best-selling author of Seeing with the Mind's Eye and The Well Baby Book. He teams up with fellow pioneer Mary Rockwood Lane, R.N., M.S.N., to share their extraordinary findings on the healing powers of the arts. Through guided imagery, personal stories, and practical exercises, they teach you how to find your "inner artist-healer," enabling you to improve your health, attitude, and sense of well-being by immersing yourself in creative activity. Both Samuels and Lane offer invaluable insight through their personal journeys and extensive groundbreaking research, noting that "prayer, art, and healing come from the same source--the human soul."Because there lies an artist and healer within each of us, Creative Healing is an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to discover the beauty of music, dance, writing or art and connect with a deeper part of oneself. Filled with inspiration and guidance, it will help you make changes in your life and the lives of others and gain access to the sacred place where inner peace exists."Dr. Mike samuels is one of the leading pioneers in exploring creativity as an important part of every person's healing journey." - Dr. Dean Ornish
